Allow Moderators to delete items that are no longer available. There are almost 500K posts in Private Firearms and only 2 or 3% that are active. A little housekeeping would be helpful. I really enjoy the site and have purchased two guns through it.
Thanks...

why does it matter taht they are 500k posts there, but only 50k threads?

Old threads are needed for a reason, the itrader would be broken if the threades would be deleted. Plus, having old threads there allows you to research many things, how often a type of gun comes up for sale, what they often are listed for, how the seller normally acts, how a buyer acts, etc.

If you went in a purged out all the old posts, it would hurt the marketplace. If you don't want to see the old posts, then don't look at them.

Please make it mandatory to post your location in the title of your sale item. I see an ad for something I want and its 500 miles away! LOL...I'd never open another ad from San Diego...thanks Bart

I concur. I've looked at so many postings only to find out the item is hundreds of miles away and the seller won't ship. I don't bother opening any threads when the subject clearly indicates a NorCal region

It is funny you say this because I literally just told my boyfriend the same thing. I have to second your suggestion. I am not a facebook fanatic, but I would like to indicate I like what someone said without having to post something! :-) Still love the site, so much to read and talk about!!

I agree with barto --- more granular area identification would be great for Private Sales, meet-ups, and a few other postings. "Area code" is okay, but should be put up as geographic area and not just one's phone code.

And +1 for bart of S.Rosa --- please encourage some good location info when posting For Sale items. Sometimes 25 miles could mean an hour one-way!

For what its worth....heres the classified rules from the Air Rifle forum I moderate_____

READ THIS >>>> YOU MUST HAVE BEEN A MEMBER 30 DAYS AND HAVE MINIMUM OF 20 POSTS TO QUALIFY BEFORE AD PLACEMENT IN OUR CLASSIFIEDS. Classifieds are limited to Gun Sales, their Related Equipment and Accessories. Vendors are not permitted to post links to their Web Sites. THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION FORUM so keep responses pertinent to the transaction. Irrelevant posts and commentary will be DELETED. YOU MUST POST PICTURES OF WHAT YOU ARE SELLING OR TRADING ALONG WITH A PRICE OR THEY WILL SUBJECT TO DELETION. Ads will remain active for 14 days. When items sell, PLEASE edit the post to add "SOLD" to title. Any ad over 14 days old will be moved to the Archive Gate. After 7 days, the ad CAN be moved back into the Classified Gate for another 14 days. This is to give everyone a chance to get their items at the top of the listing.

How about making it easier to post from Utube since they changed their format???
PS... FK the like button... FB sucks...All they want is your personal info... Get a CLUE!

The DOJ knows that two guys with semi autos that have a folding or collapsable stock, or pistol grip could take out California's entire police force, SWAT, and the National Guard. Jeeze, that pistol grip and stock are really dangerous...

Just because you don't like Facebook doesn't mean the ability to agree or disagree with a comment shouldn't be considered. Seems a few people would like it. Personally I think it would be an improvement versus "+1" or "THIS" or "^^^^" 25 times in a thread.

have a part where we can submit user name changes. keep all associated itrader and other ratings and etc. and then list our past user names in our profile or something publicly viewable to circumvent any possible abuse etc.

It would make a great additing to CalGuns! Modern air guns come in all sizes from .177 to monster .50 cal and even bigger. Some are capable of even moose hunting. As an airgunner myself i woul be happy to volunteer to moderate that area.
Thank for hearing me out.

I haven't found a answer to my question of, I need to move to California and I own guns. How do I go about not getting into a problem law. What do I need to to? Can I just move to CA with my guns in the car and move in and everything be ok? Works that way in Colorado as long as the guns are legal in Colorado and you are allowed to own guns. Can somebody steer me in the right direction. Also I think there should be a post on this site about this. I know that most everyone here is going, "What? did your horse kick you in the skull? Why would you move here???" Well ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Thanks in advance.

Almost the same. Supposed to send them a list of handguns and $19.
The major concern is any items you may be bringing in that are verboten such as CA "assault weapons".
Also, no importing magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. Disassembled magazine parts kits are ok.

On 2 other forums I am on when you start a new thread it searches for you to show you threads that might be the same/similar to yours (kind of like a passive search button). This might be helpful here.

+1 I've tried to get you to allow a name change and no one got back to me. don't want to keep bugging you but it would be nice if we could change it once or twice

I have an idea. Why do people come to this website? Answer, for Information. Why not create a FAQ's quiz and after an individual is done with the testing give them a score or grade next to their name. In turn this will create an informed community of knowledgeable people. This will create more traffic through this website, which equals more opportunities for CALGUNS to grow. Example: more advertisement, members, exposure, etc. I always see the same threads of questions being asked. Let's empower the people by giving them resources to learn instead of answers. This falls on the saying " Give a person a fish and he will eat for a day, show him how to fish and he will never go hungry".

dividing up the forum sections to Marketplace north and south so that socal and norcal have distinct posting places for firearm and non firearm related sales. That's my tidbit, Im sure it's been mentioned before but there it is.

CalGuns is a great web-site for guns and parts but, their needs to be a tutorial explaining how to download pictures when posting ads for the newer members ? In the past year a majority of all posts have no pictures???
